“With all the violence that’s been happening on Sunday nights it doesn’t affect us as much because we’re not open on Sunday’s,” said Chow. “But any time there’s violence it does deter people from wanting to come downtown.”

Chow says perhaps re-examining the “18 and older” admission might be a good idea.

Last October, the popular nightclub Karma closed its doors for good.

The club was located at 315 First Avenue and it was open to the 18 and older crowd.

It closed after the owner failed to renew the club’s liquor license.

Karma had been under severe scrutiny after police were called there more than 150 times for disturbances.

Incidents ranged from shootings to stabbings and altercations that started near the club and eventually spilled out into the streets.

The city of Minneapolis considered the club a “public nuisance.”

“There’s a lot of reason why people don’t want to come downtown at times, and I think this another one to add to it,” said Chow. “It’s not helping us in any way.”

The two men wounded in Monday morning’s shooting are expected to survive.
